About The Event
Join our inspirational playwriting workshop with award winning playwright Juliet Gilkes Romeo.
Juilet Gilkes Romero writes for the theatre, screen, radio, and her work has been performed at the Royal Shakespeare Company, on BBC, Juliet is also a teacher of Writing for Performance. Juliet deals with history, politics, and social justice, in her plays The Whip, Day of the Living and The Gift (a retelling of Medea).
Juliet’s workshop will help to answer some questions about playwriting in our complicated times, such as ‘does historical drama have a duty to be factually accurate? The art form comes with an ocean of challenges, so how do storytellers navigate these stormy waters?
In this much anticipated playwriting workshop, you will learn how to create drama that is both historically authentic and - hopefully - commercially appealing.
